Those formula prayers. I want to scream

by stillin in

when the co is visiting, i think i hear "thank you , jehovah, for this special week of activity" until i want to vomit.. also "jehovah, please remember those sick and afflicted.

we pray that they can make a recovery and be back with us.".

stale, canned, institutionalized garble.

I was on private restrictions for a year. That meant no praying. However, the selection of who was to open and close the meetings with a prayer was completely arbitrary and depended on the whim of either the Ministry school fella or the WT conductor. To save embarrassment, my pal, who knew all about my peccadilloes, would jump in and offer up the prayer on my behalf whenever I was asked. This went on for a year and, I kid you not, no-one ever noticed that when Bro Snuggs was asked to pray, Bro Fraser's voice was the one that came forth.

Magic!

Who the eff is Exeter City FC? (...and it's Arsenal...)

Well the question on the opposite side of the page was about which Football league manager was the second longest serving the same club and what team did he still manage. I guess he ran one answer into another.

Last night. Pub quiz. 12 teams, somewhere in darkest England.

Category: Eternal flame. Question1. Which religion foretold that 1975 would mark the start of the Battle of Armageddon and that the small number of survivors would go on to enjoy eternal life?

7 teams answered Jehovah's witnesses

2 teams answered Mormons

1 team answered the Aztecs

1 team answered Exeter City FC

1 team left the question blank

Quite what should be made of that is something that I shall ponder over for a while..

My Guitar, My Friend

by Tallon in

one of my interests is music and i play an acoustic guitar.. i wrote a poem about my guitar and thought i'd share it with you.

my poem doesn't match up to some of compound complex's work however, i'd really appreciate any feedback you can give.. my guitar my friend.

reaching for my old companion.

snugglebunny

Back in the 70's, an old friend of mine attempted to teach me guitar. His name was Jon Isherwood. He took a number of ex's under his wing and introduced us to real debuchery and drunkeness. I really liked him.

He wrote a few songs, this was one of them. As usual, he's a bit drunk here too:

Are the Jehovah's Witnesses really false prophets, perhaps being mentally manipulated by the Watchtower Corporation ? ?

by Finkelstein in

there is a lot of public scrutiny going on these days about the jw religion particularly on the inter - net.

one of the posed questions which gets debated and discussed quite often, are the jws false prophets instigated to preach a tainted commercialized gospel under the direction of the executive leaders of the watchtower corporation ?

these focused men who are responsible for creating the core doctrines of this organization.

snugglebunny

This sounds all very feasible. But which individuals have the money?

Second in the Medal Table - Well Done TeamGB

by konceptual99 in

can't believe it - gb is currently second in the medal table, with more golds and silvers combined than even china.

given the size of the nation it's an incredible achievement and we have won in some sports where other countries typically dominate.

i can't imagine we will stay in second but i am happy to enjoy the moment.. well done to the whole of team gb!.

snugglebunny

we need this boost after our brexit fiasco

Fiasco??? A majority verdict is a fiasco???

sounds like first loser to me (shameless shots fired). You guys trail the U.S. by a grip. 69 to 38

Well yeah. Pretty good considering we have around one-quarter of the population of you guys.

Any regrets whilst you were in the Org

by Tallon in

the biggest regret i have is of 'shunning' persons who were disfellowshipped and for 'marking' ones deemed as bad association.. there's no way i can approach these people to ask them for forgiveness as i've emigrated to another country however, by this post i'd like it to be known..

snugglebunny

My biggest regret was staying pure with my Claudia Cardinale look-alike girlfriend..

by JRK in

what was the most fun ride you've ever had?.

my personal favorite was my ducati paso 750. it may have been before a few of your times, but it was an italian rocket that totally blew away anything from japan.. .

snugglebunny

My first bike was a 1949 BSA A7. 500 twin, no rear suspension at all. Bought it in 1962.
